“To say that there is nothing, is wrong, but to say also that it is split, is not right either”, – so answered Kiro Manoyan, responsible person for the Armenian trial and political office of ARF Bureau to the question of Aravot.am as to where the rumors about ARF to be divided into two wings and the splitting available in ARF Armenian office coming from, and who are willing to split the ARF. According to Mr. Manoyan, it is advantageous to external forces. He detailed,- “I would say that the desire to see the Dashnak split and divided into different wings has at least 80-90 years of history.” On the other hand, K. Manoyan does not deny that there are problems within the party and notes,- “To say that there is no problem, no controversy in our party, is not true. The party has always shown that it will be able to solve its internal problems, and all the wishes of external forces to see Dashnak split, have always failed.” We were interested in to know what ultimately the problem is. Mr. Manoyan replied,- “There are different people, different viewpoints, approaches, and issues in the party. But it is accepted by Dashnak, in the whole process of its existence there were often issues that the party was always able to overcome.”
